SD lawyers- question here

Long story short.

Bachelorette party last year. Girls drinking.
Girl was not drinking too much to get hammered.
Girl likely had drink spiked by guys.
Girl starts dancing on music stage for bands with other girls allowed by bar.
Girl passes out and face plants off the stage busting nose and teeth.
Girl goes to hospital - bar apologizes and promises to never let anyone dance on the stage again.
Girls insurance only covers so much of cosmetic repairs so girl decides to sue bar to cover the rest of the medical bills.

Case or no case?

Bars lawyers are trying to make a personal attack on girls character saying shes a crazy drunk and it will likely go to trial without a settlement.

Sucks about the situation this put your DW in. Comfort
They sent $30 to cover her time and travel expenses for the disposition....its 55 miles away each direction. 110 miles * 55 cents per mile + tolls + parking in downtown chicago + days lost pay sucks. Add to it she doesn't want to go alone so I need to burn a vacation day to go with for all this stuff....Someone told me they demanded $500 and a phone interview and was granted it before...trying to do similar.

They want all the pictures from the night and my wife had the camera...said girl said to go through all the pictures and remove all the ones of her drinking...i said F it and give them all and not be tampering with evidence. I'd be pissed if the court ordered a seizure of all my computers (being a computer guy I have lots) because of this.

You wife better not take anything off, they can tell by the pic numbers that some are missing. Thats tampering with evidence. Fark that. EEK!

And why would they need to remove pics of her drinking if she had 2 drinks? Confused

No guard rail? No signs of warning? No one monitoring the stage? No preventative measures to keep people off the stage because it's a band stage and not a platform for dancing? Past history of such accidents and no measures taken to improve safety? She's got a case IMHO. If her lawyer(s) are thorough she does anyway.
No they encouraged the girls to go up there. They had body guards to prevent guys from going up like most bars do.

Ughh, I hate people who can't take responsibility for their own actions. You drink too much and fall, sue someone.
How about not going out to drink if you can't handle your booze? If I sued for every time I passed out and injured myself drunk, I'd be richer the Mr.SD..LMAO

Oh and far as someone "spiking" her drink, you don't leave your drinks unattended. Common sense right there.
you drunk post
i warn you
you get butt hurt and no insurance will fix it
you sue me
i tell you to shove it up the same butt.

case closed. Smoke

This is not the situation you presented to us. laugh out loud

So the real story is this. Your wife went with a friend to a strip club. Everyone was drinking. Your wife's friend thought she was hot shit and fell on her face when she tried to dance. Then she wants everyone to come to her aid and help her sue someone who built that business (cause he's smart and knows that men like bewbs), and she wants to use our court system to do it all while withholding evidence. Okay. I think I got it now. Your wife needs to stay away from this girl. And as a tip: don't ever invite her over for a BBQ.

I wasn't referring to the questions. Just the conclusion you reached that she has a case without waiting for the answers to the questions. laugh out loud
